My Indiana Life

Growing up in Wabash

My Hometown

Wabash is in Wabash County and on the Wabash River, but you will find no Wabash College in the place I once called home.

Our Claim to Fame

Our electrically lit city even inspired the architects and engineers working on the 1892 Columbian Exposition in Chicago so that the World's Fair could remain open after dark.

Our Courthouse

I passed this every day in grades 5-10 because my paper route took me down Hill St. They light up the dome for Christmas with long light strands.

Nature's Beauties

I spent my days and nights playing hide and seek in Fall's Cemetery, hiking around Mississenwa, looking for the Little Dipper out at Salamonie Reservoir, placing pennies on the railroad track, and crawdad hunting in Charlie Creek.
